Martin, the sales genius states:
"It could rival Dho 910 in freshness."
(Available through me or at the same price at the finder Mr.Haberer). :-)

Mike, Jim,
seriously: An excellent stone - respect and congratulations!

Certainly NWA 482 - Dho 910 - NWA 2995, all three deserve a gold medal for
freshness
and a for a collector, who desires to have only a single lunar sample in his
collection,
one of these will be the first choice.

Here a pic of NWA 482:

Enjoy!
Buckleboo!

> Hi everyone.
> It has been an extremely hectic and busy week in Tucson, Eric Olsen, Jim
> Strope and I, have been setting up our room and shopping, so no report
from
> Tucson until now.
>
> First thing first. Jim Strope and I have purchased the newest Lunar
> meteorite to grace private collections. It is NWA 2995, a simply
> unbelievably beautiful Lunar breccia. So fresh it is Weathering 0-1, and
so
> gorgeous it took my breath away. We bought the stone on the spot.
> It weighs 538 grams total, and is so fresh and full of clasts, that when
> sliced, it will likely be among the most beautiful Lunar meteorite ever
> offered to collectors.

> Let us know what you think about this!

> See for yourself, then come to Inn Suites, Room 184 and see it in person.
> It will blow your mind. While none will be available for sale until after
> the show, we will have more Lunar and Mars specimens in our room that
will
> likely be available in all of the rest of the rooms in Tucson.
>
> Now for the rest of the show. Technically, it opens tomorrow, so some
rooms
> are still not open, but many are, so we have been running all over the
city
> back and forth looking for goodies. I have already scored some of the best
> flight-oriented Sikhote-Alin meteorites that could exist. We also have 3-5
> kilo Pallasite slices. The shipment from DHL arrived today, so Sunday we
> will have over 500 kilos of solid, handpicked NWA chondrites for sale,
more
> than anywhere. I have seen very little available at any Moroccan tables.

> Steve Arnold is set up, and has more Brenham than has ever been seen in
one
> place, and I must admit, I might be a tad jealous of the oriented one on
> display, it is a stunning find of a lifetime. I wonder if Steve will ever
> top that? And if he does, I have to see that.
>
> Anyway, I am tired, and have a ton of work to do tonight, so this will end
> my first Tucson report.
